Description This article describes the procedure to enable the XAUTH column in the IPsec monitor Widget to easily see the user ID associated with the dial-up IPsec connection.
Scope FortiGate versions 7.0.x, 7.2.x, and 7.6.x.
Solution

The default view of the IPsec monitor widget will display the columns 'Name', 'Remote Gateway', 'Peer ID', 'Incoming Data', 'Outgoing Data', 'Phase 1', and 'Phase 2 Selectors'. None of these columns will display the User ID that was used to authenticate to the VPN.
